I'm confident.
I'm not asking you to reveal what happened in the sparring sessions, but regardless of how well Kell did, who has he sparred?

Fighting starts at 6.
TV coverage starts at 9 ?
Khan in at 11.
Doesn't leave much room for maneouvre because I think the Olympians will be showcased.
What you've got to understand Whicker, is that Kel has been a poorly kept secret for years.
I haven't felt so confident about a fighter in years.
Are you involved in kell's camp or just a mate of his twenty six, iv been following him since watching him vs gary young on a calzaghe undercard, just got that feeling he was somthing special back then! also spoke to him at meadowhall just after the mc'intyre fight, a well grounded lad!

Just a friend mate.
Been lucky enough to see him work in the formative years at Wincobank, and then when he joined Dave Coldwell.
He's now back at Wincobank and dont see him train but he remains close friends with Ryan and inevitably our paths cross.
I have always been a staunch supporter of all of the lads in whichever gym they happen to preside.
Kel is special.

I'm not knocking Kell, he is a quality prospect, but sparring can never really prove anything totally- it's all down to what happens in the ring.
What Kell needs is a tough, testing fight where he really needs to dig in. Hopefully, at least ,Lomax will provide some level of opposition.

Yeah, Bonsu's is very clearly a level below the top guys.

Would like to get opinions on how people see this one playing out. Is Brook the real deal or over hyped Euro Level? Does Lomax have a good chin? Does he have the punch resistance to go rds and or distance with Brook? Appreciate any/all comments. I haven't seen either but from what I've heard Brook is on the cusp of world class. Thanks

Talksport are playing ads for this show. They mention Gavin and Saunders, but no mention of Brook. Bizarre.

He's not a welter, but he does spar with Witter a lot.

Possibly Karl David, rather than Gary Young?

If he manages to stop getting cut I can see lomax frustrating brook and will run out of juice in middle rounds. Lomax has got a good chin and won't fold up like an ha'penny comic. Sources say brook isn't a great trainer and fitness may play a part.
What? What? What? What? You tw@ hahaha
